The
Works—A Splendid Suc
cess,
For several day* past considerable mix*
ioty has been felt on tho part of our
citizen* in regard to tho illumination of
of our little city with Gas. The works
have been going on for some two or
three mouths ami the enterprise being
such an ontire novelty to a large por
tion of the people, tlmt curiosity became,
very much exeited, and there was an
anxious state of oxpootanny exhibited
by many. tSomolittlo, unforeseen and
unavoidable delays had oceurrod in tho
works and their completion has been
I'tttni'dod a few weeks. Hut those little
disappointments now only seem to mag
nify the brilliant realization of the brigh
test hopes of all eoncernad.
Gn the night of Tuesday tho 14th in d.
the city of Rome was first lighted with
Gas. This fact is vory significant of the
growth and prosperity of tho place, and
also of tho cutcrprDo of our citizens.
And the enterprise consummated on
last Tuesday night will mako an epoch
in tho history of Rome.
Tho Romo Gas Works are ft complete
success. There 1ms been no material mis
take in tho estimated cost of the works,
the expense of kooping them in oper
ation, or the amount of gas that can bo
manufactured hy "works of a given size.
The light i» mild clear and almost
white; vory pleasant to thfl eyes yet
quite intense; it is in fact if wo right
ly remember the Gas lightsin othorpln-
cos, inferior to no Gas wo have seen
that wa* made from coal re*tn or any
other material.
W. II. Magill A Co., the owners
of the patent and contractors for the
works, dosorve much praise for tho un
tiring iiidiMlrv ami.persevering energy
with which they have prosecuted this
enterprise. They h iro shown that they

flunking, that perhaps some of our
readers, like ourselves may ho curious to
know something nf the machinery used
ami the process by which illuminating
Gas is made from wood, wo give the
following brief statement of ft per
sonal obiervntion of the Rome Gas
Work*.
The Gas is made from Pine wood, tho
richor in resin the better. The wood ia
cut about 15 inches long and split fine
It is then put into an air tight iron cyl
inder 18 inclios long hy 12 in diameter.
This cylinder when filled with pine is
put into a furnace where an intense
heat is applied to it. An oscape pipe to
carry the giw to tho rosorvoir is scrowed
into the cylinder und all is ready. As
tho pitio in the cylinder hocomes hont-
od the gas, which appears to bo only
smoke,is drawn olY through tlio escapo
pipe to tho bottom of tho reservoir.—
Tho reservoir is fillod with wator and
” in passing up through the wator the gas
will not in the Empire State. And it’i
a dlsgvaeo to Georgia that they liavo
done so, as long a* they have. Hut wo
have digressed a little in speaking of a
thing that will not ho able to trouble the
country much longer. * * *
The course of the Know-Nothing-
American party, in theeontost for Spea
ker of the House, lms boon so trcnche-
rousaml mean, a*will certainly render
tlmt disgusting organization odious (or
all time to come, and consign each inom-
hor of it to oblivion, which ho so justly
merits ******
Was there ever such troachery! Such
mennness, such a longing after a poor,
miscruhlc and disgraceful organization
which must, by the course of its incm*
bers stink in tho nostrils of every hon
est man 1 If it does m,»t, mid if thoinis-
erahle creatures who now represent it
are not sent to plutoor tho devil, patri
otism will have lost Its charms, and hon
esty will he at a low ebb! To sny more
about such disgraceful conduct is unne
cessary. Every man of those knaves
who now represent a shveholding eon-
Btitnoiicy should bo hung in efligy , becomes clarified end loses its smoky
"• a traitor to his section of tho Un- appearance,
Ion!!
We hopo our renders will pardon u*
for admitting into our columns such op-
probious language as the foregoing from
the Sotuhcrr.cr <C* Advertiser, Our object
is not to insult their doconey, but if )pos-
siblo to induce our contemporary to cor-
root an evil which has hut recontly
sprung up in that paper, and . we
hope has not yet taken deop root.
Of course wo aro convinced that the
members of the Opposition party have
not in tlioir Ihisoiu* a consciousness of
guilt doservingsuch condemnation* nei
ther do we think tlmt respectable Dem
ocrats will endorse, oroven tolerate such
abuse of their neighbors und friends,
merely because thoy dlsagrco with them
politically. Wb regret that our contem
porary is so regardless of courtesy, of tho
dignity of his profession und tho re
spect due the solf-ciRccm of his roa-
dors.
Within a fow wc«ks past such a change
has boon wrought in tho tone of the ed
itorial articlos in tho 'Southerner' tlmt
we would lmvo supi>osed it hail passed
into other nnd le»s circumspect hands,
did wo not soo the samo name at its
head ns editor. Wo ask our neighbor,
in all kindnoss if the honor and dignity
of tho press does not demand that suoh
language as we have quoted should bo
excluded from the columns of a public
journal? By such ft course the rivalry
of political opponents will be tempered
with kindness and courtesy, tho respeot
of the publio for tho press will bo in
creased, and tho influonce of tho press
over tho publio strengthened. We will
most ohaorfully unite with our contem
porary for the accomplishment of this
very desirable ond, and add pur plight.to
the maintenance of thc most courteous
aiid friendly relations.
The leservoii Is a circular hole in the
ground 8| feet doep hy 13 foot ill diam
eter, and fitted to this is a shoot iron
cap called tho Gas receiver, which like a
large wash-tuh inverted slides down in
to it. When there is no gas in the res
ervoir it is fillod with wator and the cap
settlosdown until the top of It touches
the water. Now when the works aro
put in operation tho Gas coining in at
tho bottom of the reservoir passing up
through tho water gradually raises up
the receiver until it is full and tho bot
tom of the recoivcr'comos lo the surfaco
of thowat^r. The Gas is thence car
ried in iron pipos.lnid under the ground,
to tho various places where it is to* ho
usod.
The tar is deposited in the bottom of
tho rosorvoir and is pumped out through
a pipo for that purpose.
Tlio Gas Rocoivcr holds 1500 feet of
Gas.
A cord of good light-wood will make
about 28000 feet of Gas, 50 bushels of
charcoal and 28 gallons of tar.
An ordinary gas burner will consuino
fivo feet of Gas por hour and it has
the UlumhHtiug power of 18 sperm can
dles.
The price of Gas in % this city is os-
fablishod at five dollars per thousand
feet. ^

[From the Southvr^tteru BiptLt.]
Mr. Spurgeon on Abolitionism.
An old philosopher once said that an
ordinary man blown into importance by
injudicious friends, was likoavory small
statue placed ujmn a very high pedestal
—the higher It wus elevated the more
painfully proininont would its di-
minutivcno.vj nppour. 31 r. Spurgeon
has been cajoled and flattered so much
by the press, (and we acknowledge wo
lmvo been too guilty In this ros|>eet,)
und by his friends, tlmt ho really begins
to think that ho is the wonder of the
world,
It will ho soon'from a letter, which wo
extract from tho Christian Watchman k
Reflector, Boston, that he is going to do
terrible things prottv soon ! Listen how
tho conceited ami stilted sensation
preacher talks to iis :—“I do from my
inmost soul detest slavery anywhero anu
although 4 commune at the Lord’s ta
ble with men of all creeds, yet with a
slaveholder I Imvo no fellowship of any
sort or kind.—I would as soon think of
rocoiving a murderer Into my churcli,
or into any sort of friendship, as a man-
stenlor.” [By the way, wo know of no
“raanstcalwhi” in this country, except
those who l>olong to the old Brown
clique'.] “ I shall not aparo your
nation in the futuro !” [“Angels and
ministers of grace defend us!”] “I
shall romombor tlmt 1ny volco echoes
beyond the Atlantic,” &e, [Wondor if
that caused tho earthquake that was
recently felt in tho vicinity of Charles
ton and Augusta?) "John Brown is
immortal in the memories of the good
in England, and in iny heart he livuf?”
But it hocomos us, upon this matter,
to say a few things in a plain way and a
serious tone. And, first, this onslaught
ii(>on Southern Christians hy the London
pastor is unprovoked. The letter woa
doubtless written at the special solicita
tion of Northern agitators, to keep up
thut unhallowed excitement that has
now brought our unhappy govSrnment
to the vory vorgo of ruin. It was an
evil hour for Mr. Spurgeon when ho
penned that lettor.
The animus of the letter cannot but
arrest tho attention of the reader. Tftko
a single sentence: "It U far more
probable tlmt- any slaveholder who
should showhimself iti our uoighlMirhood
would get a mark which he would carry
to his grave, if it did not earry him
thorc!” Is this tho spirit of a true
minister of Christ ? Connect this with
his allusion to " John Brown,” and
what does it mean ? Nothing short of
tills: Tlmt it is tho duty of uuti-slAverv
men to arm themselves, invade the .Sout h
and desolate its Hold* with carnage and
blood ! We feel not tlio slightest hesi
tancy in saying, that if Mr. Spurgeon
know all the facts connocted with the
Harper’s Ferry foray, when ho wrote
this letter, ho Is a ’murderer at heart,
aml'iiot a whit hotter than John Brown.
And we go further and say, if tke edi
tor* of the Watchman k Reflector had
any agency in procuring from Mr. 8.
such a letter, thoy are no better than
h«, and thoy all doservo tbe fate of
Brown.
But what is our duty in this case?—
Why, it is just this: Wo hod just re
ceived a box of Air. Spurgeon's Ser
mons to sell, but have sent tlicm back to
the publishers, Messrs. Sheldon k Co.,
New York, with all possible dispatch,
WILL NOT EVERY BOOKSTORE
AND COLPORTEUR INTHE SOUTH
DO THE SAME. SO SOON AS THEY
READ THIS LETTER? Can any South
ern man ever purchase another volume
of a man's sermons who denounces him
as no hotter than n murderer, who vir
tually counsels the torchof the incendia
ry and the knife of the assassin os tho
appropriate arguments for the extermi
nation of African slavery ? A man who
longs to gloat himself upon Bouthern
blood, should never bo enriched by
Southern money. Indeed, a liontire
made of his books would not express
too strongly tbe lioqost indignation of
an insulted South.,
